WOOD-USING INDUSTRIES 



Loblolly pine probably comprises a larger percentage of the total 

 than the returns show, since it is thrown on the market mixed with 

 shortleaf. It is due to the confusion of the common names of species 

 on the market that the information of the individual woods can not 

 separated except by an arbitrary division.

 in Louisiana. Wherever it has been planted in Ohio, it has shown 

 remarkable development and is being recommended for planting 

 operations. Large quantities each year are brought from the south 

 to meet the demands of the manufacturers. Sixteen industries 

 purchased this wood for innumerable uses. The available statistics 

 are as follows:
